That would make a nice conversion. You could call it "Globe" like it was the partner "Atlas" never had!

It was handy to use as shelter from the sudden down pour this afternoon.

Default Mclaren 1295

Richard Morris debuted his Mclaren No 1295 at Welland this weekend, first time ever at a rally in steam. She was roaded in after a few minor teething problems on route and will be roading to South Cerney on Monday, a route of 44 miles including up Birdlip Hill. Well done Richard with your 10 year meticulous rebuild of this fabulous engine and good to catch up with our old living van as well.

Nice to see the 6" foden my grandad built is still around. It's 30 years old this year.

Spain???? It's never been to Spain in its life, if your gonna speculate, try and get somewhere near right.
